Oranges – Blood (Moro)

There are blood oranges, then there are the best blood oranges. The ‘Moro‘ are the best, the most colourful, with deep red flesh. The flavour is stronger and the aroma is more intense than a normal orange. This fruit has a distinct, sweet flavour with a hint of raspberry. They grow best in a small area to the south of Mount Etna in Sicily.  The blood oranges grown around Mount Etna and have the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). This microclimate is blessed with volcanic soil plus the ideal weather and temperatures to produce quality fruit.
